Severia's life.
He could have gone to extinction along with his family thousands of years ago.
It was a painless sleep.
Death will turn into a peaceful lullaby, allowing her to reunite with her family and enter the embrace of the underworld together.
Or he could maintain his normal appearance, with the admired "emerald" face, and live in the wizarding world a thousand years later, becoming a great knight praised by everyone.
only.
Fate often takes twists and turns.
Sylvia was neither truly dead nor truly alive.
Her face, her body, everything about her was taken away.
Forced to exist as a ghost.
People hated her and drove her away with violence, spitting, slashing with swords and throwing stones.
To the extent that Sylvia had to put on heavy armor to cover her entire body in order to communicate normally with people.
How pitiful.
Xu Xi lowered his eyes, stretched out his hands, and helped the undead girl sit up from the laboratory table. His clear emerald green eyes shone like the surface of water.
"Master Wizard, how did your examination go?"
"There are some gains, but not much. More research is needed in the future."
"Is that so..."
The girl's hesitant voice echoed in the empty banquet hall, coming from the soul fire, beating slightly.
"Master Wizard, can my body... still be restored?"
Xu Xi shook his head: "It's very difficult, at least I can't do it now. When I become a higher-level wizard, maybe I can lift the curse for you."
No deception.
No false hope given.
Xu Xi answered truthfully.
It was obvious that Sylvia's expression was a little lonely, but she quickly returned to normal.
"That's right, I was overthinking it. This kind of thing is not that easy to solve."
"I'm sorry, Master Wizard."
"I told you some unrealistic things."
Sylvia walked down from the lab table and bowed to Xu Xi with an apologetic look, saying, "I'm so sorry. I'll arrange a rest room for you right now."
…
[Your long-term study of Severia has begun]
[In the wizard system, the soul is the eternal theme. Based on the soul, we can explore the truth of death, life, and the world.]
[Therefore, Sylvia's existence will provide you with great help]
[This is your first time to observe the movement of soul fire up close and experience the balance between life and death]
[The entry for the intersection of life and death is being activated...]
[You have learned more about the mysteries of life and death]
[In time, if you truly enter death, your excellent understanding of life and death will make you a powerful immortal]
[Somehow, your understanding of the soul has improved]
[You work hard and diligently. While studying Severia's body, you also practice the art of hammering your own soul and meditate on the path to a higher level of transcendence.]
"The Sorcerer's Apprentice is where it all started."
"It is the best stage to identify the soul's qualifications and wizard's suitability."
"Starting from the first ring wizard, the soul and body will enter the extraordinary, solidify the ritual, engrave the soul, and imprint the truth of the world into the soul."
"The second-ring wizard has begun a qualitative change. The power of the soul has begun to materialize. Even without the guidance of magic, it can interfere with reality."
"A three-ring wizard gathers his own truth, a five-ring wizard condenses the path of magic, and a seven-ring wizard gathers the possibility of life and death."
"I am now..."
“This is just the beginning.”
In a dilapidated house that was leaking wind and rain.
Xu Xi wore a pitch-black robe, closed his eyes and meditated, engraving a new ritual with his own soul.
Not fast, but very stable.
At the same time.
There were soft footsteps outside the house.
It was Sylvia practicing swordplay.
Xu Xi has his own way of training, and the girl has her own way of training. Moreover, the girl is just as hardworking as Xu Xi.
Thousands of chopping blows condense into an instant, countless steppings create a flash.
Even if no one supervises.
Crawfield's emeralds still sparkle.
…
[Every morning, under your gaze, Sylvia will consciously lie flat on the test bench, take off her armor to reveal her skeletal body]
【You begin daily research and record experimental data】
[The process is dull and boring, nothing worth caring about]
[Real experiments are always like this. Only a long time can accumulate excellent results.]
[Only occasionally, Sylvia will be embarrassed. You can comfort her and tell her not to worry. She will get used to it slowly.]
…
【When you are resting, you will cook for yourself】
[With scarce ingredients and a simple kitchen, you created a mysterious dish that shines like gold]
【Servia is shocked to be a celestial being】
[The girl said, a thousand years ago, your cooking skills would have conquered many kingdoms and made you a VIP of the kings]
[You don’t cook every day. When your practice reaches a critical moment and you can’t get away from it, you will stop eating for the day.]
[You are a First Ring wizard, this is nothing to you]
But Sylvia wants to help.
[So, when you are busy, Sylvia will prepare meals for you, using her skeleton body without smell or taste to make you a sumptuous meal]
"Servia, how did you do that?"
"My mother taught me this, Master Wizard."
The girl's answer was simple.
When she was alive, she had mastered certain cooking skills.
Although her current body has lost many of the senses of a normal person, her skilled techniques are enough for her to perform simple cooking.
"How do you think it tastes?" Sylvia asked expectantly.
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
"Well, very good," Xu Xi nodded in affirmation.
To call it gourmet food might be a bit hypocritical.
But as a normal meal, it is undoubtedly acceptable. It's strange that I feel cold on my back.
…
[Time passes day by day, like the shadow of a dream, fading away in a moment]
[The one month you originally planned]
[Now, only the last few days are left]
[You still don't understand the existence of the undead girl. The balance between life and death is not something you, a First Ring wizard, can see clearly.]
【Fortunately, you have another solution】
[Through records and some corresponding wizard props, you recorded Severia's physical data and the frequency of the soul fire's daily operation]
[You who have stored this information can further improve your strength and become a higher-level wizard before exploring the secret of life and death.]
[You are confident]
[I feel that with the intersection of life and death and the existence of soul collectors, that day will not be far away]
Time is running out.
The night is dark.
It turned into a long curtain, slowly covering the residence and the surrounding forest.
The wind was very strong tonight, whistling and blowing away the gloomy air, revealing the blood moon in the sky and a few silent and dim stars.
"Calculating the time, it's almost time to go."
"The fourth-level wizard tower of the Aoka Kingdom and the large amount of undead soul fire in the wilderness will help me become stronger faster than studying Sylvia's body."
Xu Xi looked up at the moon, the moonlight made his face a dim scarlet red.
